EPISODE BREAKDOWN
Episode 1: Thistles & Thorns: Unique Challenges to a Fruitful Ministry
Pastoral work carries unique struggles—balancing a high calling, self-directed schedules, and the constant tension between deep study and people care. This episode looks honestly at the obstacles pastors face and what it means to pursue lasting fruitfulness rather than simple efficiency.
Episode 2: Planning the Garden: Goals & Long-Term Planning
Effective ministry isn’t about staying busy; it’s about clarity and stewardship. This conversation underscores the need for clear goals and flexible, thoughtful plans, both personal and ministry-wide, that grow out of biblical responsibility and are held with open hands.
Episode 3: Planting Your Weekly Schedule
A thoughtful schedule helps pastors avoid the chaos of constant urgency. By intentionally budgeting time each week, this episode shows how to steward God’s gift of time, creating structure for both work and rest while staying grounded in healthy limits.
Episode 4: Watering Your Garden: The Pastor’s Morning Routine
Sustainable ministry starts with personal growth. Here, practical habits like prayer, meditation on Scripture, reading, planning, and exercise form a morning routine that nourishes mind, body, and soul—helping pastors care for others out of a place of daily renewal.
Episode 5: Pruning Your Schedule: Creating Margin for Focused Work
True fruitfulness requires focused time for study and preaching, which means learning to set boundaries and say “no” when necessary. This episode shares how to build protected blocks of time for deep work, communicate those boundaries well, and respond wisely to interruptions.
Episode 6: Weeding the Garden: Keeping Up with Everything Else
Administrative duties are part of ministry reality, but they shouldn’t take over. By setting aside dedicated time for tasks like emails and meetings, pastors can keep admin in its proper place and free up energy for real ministry—without letting paperwork become the main thing.
Episode 7: Enjoying the Harvest: Creating Ministry-Life Balance
Rest is not an indulgence; it’s a gift from God. This episode reflects on receiving rest with gratitude, handling interruptions in the right spirit, and carrying a posture of thankfulness for times of refreshment, even during busy seasons.
Episode 8: Seasons of Life: How to Avoid Ministry Burnout
Ministry has rhythms and seasons—periods of intensity as well as rest. This final episode encourages pastors to regularly reassess their schedules, adjust to life’s changes, and pursue long-term faithfulness by accepting their limits and staying anchored in the grace of Christ
